The Bunny and the Carrot - A Chinese Fairy Tale with Pictures and Signs by Ellen Schwarzburg-von Wedel

Ellen Schwarzburg-von Wedel has created a very special picture book based on a Chinese fairy tale. The chain story is only superficially a winter tale. On a deeper level, the fairy tale is about friendship and peace: the freezing and hungry animals pass a carrot to each other in friendship and willingness to help, until it finally reaches the protagonist, the little bunny, who then eats it himself.

For each picture, key words are presented on the opposite text page in memorable drawings in the form of signs according to German Sign Language. Thus, the fairy tale has an additional dimension, playfully serving to introduce and practice signs. Sensitive watercolors take us into the deeply snow-covered winter landscape. A beautiful dream of friendship and peace in pastel colors can be integratively signed along with the story.

An alphabetical index of all the presented signs, along with corresponding illustrations and explanations, complements the picture book.
